But the movie is a gritty thriller about child abduction so all of our clever puns are pretty offensive. Even to us. And that’s saying […]

Movie Review: ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Starring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman

Posted: March 22, 2013 at 9:49 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

While not perfect, Olympus Has Fallen is a great popcorn flick that action-junkies will love. Director Antoine Fuqua gets the most out of a strong cast, which makes up for a weak plot and at times shoddy CGI effects. The premise of the film is pretty simple. Gerard Butler stars as Mike Banning, a demoted […]

Movie Review: ‘Flight’ Starring Denzel Washington

Posted: November 2, 2012 at 11:18 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Fighter

Posted: December 17, 2010 at 3:50 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

I love watching movie trailers.  I immediately have to see the newest ones when they hit the web, and I pride myself on my ability to name the movie within seconds of the trailer.  I am a movie geek, so what.  Unfortunately, most trailers these days show you almost the full story within those 2 […]
